Here's what I get at http://downloads.wikipedia.org/:

If you've gotten here, you're either having DNS trouble or you've 
followed some sort of invalid link.

Please see wikimedia.org for links to Wikipedia and other Wikimedia 
projects.

Note that the address for www.wikipedia.org should be 130.94.122.*199*. 
This server is 130.94.122.*197*. If you thought you were coming to 
www.wikipedia.org, you're in the wrong place!

Is it my DNS (well, it's not *my* DNS, you get the idea), or is it some 
misconfiguration on the server?
